Three hundred years ago the War of Faith began, many brothers pointed their blades at each other and families became broken due to disputes. Plenty of those who are close friends broke their connection due to different views and beliefs.

    During this era not a single part of the continent experienced peace. Many changes happen and even the most powerful existence in Brynar had to intervene.

    The empire that tolerated and gave the people the freedom to choose religion began to suppress those who began raising their hands against them. The Imperial House had no choice since religion became a power that they could no longer contain. And for the first time since the creation of the empire chaos began to rise. It was chaos that decreased the human population in the continent by half.

    How ironic that the destruction of mankind won''t fall on the hands of the fearsome demonic beasts but instead on the hands of humans themselves.

    The source of this war was the believers of the Revolutionary church.

    It was just a single church that made this chaos and yet even the emperor himself felt his hand tied. He was torn between peace using bloodshed or peace by obeying the rules of the enemy. And so with no other options, he chose blood and war.

    The twelve churches that correspond to each of the Gods, even with their history dating back before the creation of the empire, too couldn''t escape the wheels of war. This caused their believers'' blood to dye the continent. Their grief and suffering made the sleeping Gods awake and summon their children who had borrowed their power.

    With both the imperial power and the church of the Twelve Gods being threatened, a sudden pact was made by the two. Something that even the Era of Extinction couldn''t do.

    Amongst the forces of the emperor that he deployed at that time, the Mage Tower was the fastest to respond. They immediately suppressed the residents who were wreaking havoc in the south, and then they advanced to the capital and aided the imperial knights.

    The imperial knights under the command of Lexus began slaughtering the enemies even though some of them were weak people who used to be normal citizens. Lexus never cared even though he murdered his own friend for his loyalty belong to the emperor.

    Due to his blatant massacre, he was nicknamed the Red Knight, for his obsidian armor became red due to the blood he had spilled. While the symbol of the imperial house on his sacred cape became the symbol of death.

    "Commander, seize your men, his majesty commands you not to harm his people anymore"

    A calm yet dominating voice spoke making the ongoing chaos stop.

    "And who might you be?" asked the commander while his blade pierced another person''s body.

    The person who just spoke put down the hood of his cloak. As soon as he did so Lexus was able to see that he was only a boy not even reaching his twenties.

    "A young mage" he mumbled while putting back his sword on his scabbard.

    "We came here with the command of the emperor to stop your massacre"

    "Stop? Why? How have you seen what these people have been doing? They are burning houses of those who don''t join their fucking church, they don''t even hesitate to hurt others!" the imperial general said while his aura began bursting with killing intent.

    "That is why we are here, we were told to cast a spell to put them to sleep and lock them in the dungeon cells"

    "What are you doing brother!"

    Alger exclaimed while his eyes began to shake.

    The young mage''s reaction was conflicted, he knows why this happened but he doesn''t know what to do.

    "Commander" he turned to the soldier hoping that he might reconsider his words of killing everyone here.

    "Alright, we will knock them out"

    The expression of the boy elevated though Lexus didn''t feel good about it.

    "Just to remind you when I say knocked out it means breaking a few pieces of their bones in the process"

    "I don''t care it''s good as long as they are alive"

    "Alright then we are good"

    Then his body disappeared and reappeared right in front of the new visitors.

    "Please brace for impact" his voice seems to be fading as the sound of something hitting echoes everywhere.

    Alphonse couldn''t react because all he saw was his comrades flying everywhere. Experience new tales on empire

    "You are next"

    "What!" it felt like the jaws of death were approaching in his panic he cast a spell that made him teleport right outside the city.

    "How did that guy bypass the barrier!"

    Lexus felt frustrated as he said those things Alger immediately ran after his brother with the rest of the tower mages with him.

    "We will be back," he said while the general signalled some of his soldiers to follow them.

    However that day not a single one of them was able to see him. And all Alger could do was wait for his return, and now after three hundred years the emblem he gave him as a gift was retrieved by his student from a corpse.

    "Of all things to protect why this" he mumbles while touching the fine marks of the emblem.
